YES - And You And I // Montreux-2003 - Rick Wakeman

[tim3955]

I wish that Steve and Chris would not try to sing....ruins it

[MrJohnboy006]

My brother turned me on to Yes in 1972 with The Yes Album. I been hooked since. My first serious date with a girl in HS was at a Yes concert in 74. Since then Ii have seen them a few times on concert and still have original LP's and later CD's.

[OrchidTigress1]

Awesome video!

[65realistic]

Never really given it a listen before - born in 1965 in England so brought up on Black Sabbath, Led Zep etc plus Punk Rock and fights at soccer games on a Saturday wrecking stadiums home and away - I am definitely going to give this band a proper listen - may go crazy and buy CDs!

PS The Canadian band `Rush` were like this - up to now I prefer Rush.

[MegaZappen]

They take me to a better place. Power to the people.

[maitreyalux]

This is the most awe inspiring live version I have ever heard.!! YES ROCKS!!

[margareth57]

I started listening to this band when i was 14 and they still send me to a better place!!! Shades of Sydney 1973!!

[sterling4845]

@margareth57 Same with me I would wake up to this song before high school back in 1973

[marr1157]

maravillosa melodia de los maestros de yes.este video me parece muy buenisimo.gracias por compartir

[Prowler609]

My apologies in advance to all that shall and rightfully so be offended by my language but I must express myself as this piece unfolds in my mind-- FUCK!! REAL musicians!!!! Great Artists!!! THE ULTIMATE BAND!! by any combination---- Squire and Anderson,,,and then Howe,, and White,,, and Wakeman,, and.......

[bubblabu]

I could watch this all day

[kennywowie]

Glad there was no harmonica on the album, though it is OK now.

[gilmutum]

Jon anderson,a idade chega,mas a voz inconfundivelmente perfeita,cordas vocais de titanio.

[Tinaswill]

AWESOME!!!!!!

[green3825]

Gee...I wonder why this is my favorite all time Yessong? Tried to name the reasons...seemed too lame.

[SparksMagoo]

3:00 to 5:00 is why YES is YES. Does it get any better than that?

Of course the entire song it tremendous....

[sparkymachine]

@SparksMagoo Not a great deal better but it depend on what you like! Yes is Yes and thank the Lord for them

[green3825]

Oh ...and Howe playing the slide....especially that last note....be still my heart again....over and over



[green3825]

Jeez...I went on Amazon to buy the DVD so it wouldn't look so horizontally distorted...and to support the Band with royalties. My favorite band and Yessong...Wakeman playing the Mini Moog...Be still my heart.

[QueenFloydGenesisYes]

Fantastic! Unbelievable! Rick best keyboard player at the universe.

[SOUNDCHASERX]

THE BEST LINEUP WAS...ANDERSON..WAKEMAN..HOWE.­.SQUIRE..WHITE

[green3825]

A five man orchestra.

[PrZemek44]

To play such complex song live... Amazing.

[a1m12]

im only 20 years old but my father brought me up on the music of yes. I just wanted to say that i am jealous that music this beautiful isnt being made by people of my generation. This is by far one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard.

[target395]

absolutely brilliant song, unfortunately spoiled by harmonica interlude.Also Anderson frequently out of tune.Still fantastic performance

[ski4bob]

What an awesome song! I had forgotten how much I love YES! Anderson still has the voice of an angel, Howe looks like an old professor, but still hicks ass on the guitar, Wakeman and Squire are rockin as well as White. But i was a little confused as to where the harmonica came from??? In a Yes song, really? Other than that, they sound even better than I remember them from the late 70's and early 80's when I saw them. Of course back then i had a few extra chemicals running through my system!

[thehillcefis]

2:40 ......... brividi!

[MokRodrigues]

No dislikes, it's only expected to this masterpice, mankind's most beautiful piece of art.

[DictionRedaction]

This is a really great song

[iwillrocknroll4eva]

YEOW! OW! OW! GREATEST PROGRESSIVE ROCK BAND ON THIS EARTH! YES! YES! YES! Brings back so many great memories of all the times I've seen them in concert. LOVE YES!!!

[kolinbeckr]

Te és én.Megafrázis. De gyönyörű...

You and me.Mega phrase. But beautiful...

[vivelavidarocka]

I don't know you, but I think is a blasphemy from Squire, White and Howe part, to play this song without Jon on vocals. Without him is nothing else but a karaoke version....and yeah, yeah: I'm over it.

[studentjohn36]

magical right up until the moment that Squire pulls out that darn harmonica.

[jdtheman87]

i like the original drumming better

[abasis]

While the music at this show is one of the best later shows with original members, the director of photography clearly had no clue about the music.

[liquidplastic62]

Brilliant live rendition of such a difficult track to play. Hats off to Steve Howe!

[MysteryClown000]

I love Chris Squire and Jon Anderson so much.

[jamma246]

Don't get me wrong, Jon Anderson's vocals sound good as ever, but it just sounds like he has a cold all the time now, he's not started smoking has he?

[Jouwl]

@jamma246

It's just that he's not really a good singer.

Look up his live version of 'Soon' from amsterdam. For some reason he sings that one well.

:P

[Albatrosskites]

@jamma246 nothing like that mate its a combination of the fact that he is sadly getting on a bit now but also he now suffers from an asthma condition which means he struggles sometimes but as far as im concearned its still the voice of an angel.

:)

[jamma246]

@Albatrosskites Well said.

[binnyman]

Thank God for purists like Wakeman, who still use a Minimoog to play the signature synth parts. No "virtual" synths, or digital recreations will ever match that pure tone (and I will go to the grave with mine, serial #3913). However, I DO like the Mellotron emulation he is using !:P! The same, but slightly cleaner and much more stable !!! Peace:-)

[WOLFHOUND323]

@binnyman I don't play but there's something so warm and organic about the old synths that just can't be duplicated by todays keyboards!!!!!!

[orbgetar]

I have this performance on DVD..

[xvirg]

I heard Yes was going to dump Jon and hire Susan Boyle. Is that true?

[pithor]

@xvirg

Where have you been? YES dumped Jon in November of 2008.

You mean David Benoit is being replaced by Susan Boyle???

[orbgetar]

@pithor if you know anything about YES, then you know that none of the band ever really gets 'dumped', YES was started by Jon Anderson and Steve Howe- as you recall, Rick Wakeman left the band for a while and was replaced by Patrick Moraz- and in the 80's Steve Howe left to play with GTR while Trevor Rabin 'filled in' for a couple of albums- but they always seem to come back- the lineup always seems to come back to the beginning. So no worries here. I've been a YES fan since I was a teenager.

[Suuperman5461]

@orbgetar

Sorry dude, but if you knew anything about yes, you would know Chris Squire and Jon Anderson started yes with Tony Kaye on keys, Bill Bruford on Drums and Peter Banks on guitar, even though Steve Howe is by far my favirorite of all. Steve joined the band 2 years after they recorded their first album. Sorry, guess I have been listening to them a little longer than you and thought I would be doing you a disservice by not letting you know..

[Suuperman5461]

@Suuperman5461

"favorite" guitar. sorry, missed.

[orbgetar]

@Suuperman5461 thank you for that information! I did not know that, and appreciate the correction. That does not infringe on my idea, however, that Yes never really completely 'dumps' anyone- at one point or another they've all come back even if only for an album or two. True, no? It also does not degrade my enthusiasm for the band, which I still love even after all these years. Also, would I be mistaken in my assumption that Steve Howe wrote a great deal of the music for the early stuff?

[init4mojo]

I think I can recall this song playing in the background of a beautiful dream I had...

[justnoldhyp]

whoa.......fantastic.

[garton]

Wow! This is quite a remarkable performance. Very moving indeed.

[Zackary1005]

Wow... So... Magical =O I could'nt listen to anything else ( Not even this song again ) for all the evening. A wonderful performance of a wonderful song, really. Wow... Damn...

[facelessfatloss]

Absolutely wonderful. I never get tired of this song, and every opportunity to watch how Rick performs those key parts is so much fun to watch. That SOUND! Thanks for posting. :)

[Tomatenasche]

Thank you so much for uploading! :D
